There
have been recent revelations that Samsung Electronics, and several of its
subsidiaries, may have been installing recording devices inside of Smart TVs. According
to certain consumers, Samsung and its subsidiaries, deceived and mislead
customers by installing software that outside parties could use to spy on
Samsung customers’ private conversations, even when the device is “off.”
Purchasers of certain Samsung Smart TVs may have been harmed as a result of Samsung’s
failure to adequately disclose the recording devices’ capabilities to allow
outside parties to spy on the purchasers, and Samsung’s failure to allow
purchasers to make an informed decision before purchasing certain Smart TVs
with the “spying system”. It is alleged that Samsung users were unlikely
to anticipate that using their Smart TV would jeopardize their privacy.
